Boating is a fun activity to do on a hot summer day and a great way to get outdoors and experience the nearest body of water. From relaxing and sunbathing to adventurous water sports such as surfing, water skiing, wake boarding and tubing, boating offers tons of fun for the whole family.
Of course, with all that possible fun, there comes some risk, and if you’re not careful you can wind up going from a great day to a bad one just because of one decision. It’s important that before you get out on the water, you know what rules to follow. Below, you will find links to everything from boating and swimming safety to boating history to tying knots to fun games and everything in between. Enjoy and stay safe!
